Big 100- 6 of 15 and a little Vitamin C

I am supposed to be working on the rest of these paintings but I caught a cold... so lame.. know any secret remedies? My mother was telling me about this thing that you stick in your nose that washes your nose out with salt water. I thought she was half crazy... well I know she is partially crazy but I did find it online.. its called the Neti. I don't know if I could stick what looks like a teapot spout up my nose, maybe I should stick with Vitamin C.

Here is my latest for the Big 100 show.. from the New York Subway.. I love how people read and wait for the subway, like they don't have a care in the world while there is all this activity going on around them.. that element of magic of NYC.

I wanted to convey the motion versus the stillness of New York. NYC is unlike any other place that I have been because of the way the city moves. I also never really noticed the American Flags on the subway cars until I started painting the series.

8X8 oil on wood.Information about the show:

i don't know any secret trick, i had the last cold ten years ago. that time i just spent a lot of time with my head over a bowl of hot water and eucaliptus, drank a lot of tea with lemon and watched lot of bad tv. it worked.

Hi Erika, love the subway paintings. Very cool! Vitamin C does seem to help a cold and I find that hot lemon ginger green tea helps too. Otherwise the best way to get rid of a cold is to not take any cold medicine, but instead just let your body fight off the cold naturally. I find that whenever I take cold medicine the cold symptoms persist for days and even weeks, but without medicine it’s usually gone after a day or two.
